Pages won't export to word - any ideas?

I finalized my edits (track changes) to a Pages document and went to export to Word only to find the program wouldn't function.  I need to get this to my client in Word format and I feel stuck.  Any ideas are appreciated.

Well, I tried export to Word before saving the document in Pages. It worked fine! I didn't finalize the changes in any way. I could open the .doc document and it still showed the changes and comment field.
I think something is corrupt in your document. You could select the content and paste into a new blank template and save it and then export to a Word document. Then undo all changes in the original document to the point you started the changes and copy and paste  into a new document and give it a different name. Now you have a before and after the changes and hopefully the  corruption didn't get copied over.

  • Pages won't export to Word

    Running latest Pages in latest Lion on a new iMac. When I try to export to Word, I get an error message: "The file format is invalid."
    A Word doc IS actually created, but it has all Comments stripped out...making it utterly useless to me. I've tried uninstalling iWork 09, restarting the iMac, then reinstalling (and re-upgrading) iWork 09 from the original disc, but no love -- it just won't export a Word file with Comments.
    Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a solution?
    Thanks!

    You likely didn't erase the ENTIRE drive of the later OS X operating system before installing Snow Leopard. You just targeted the Macintosh HD partition.
    Try again, this time make sure to select the name and size of your boot drive at the top to catch the hidden EFI partition that's responsible for the splash screen at boot time (no screen = white)
    It will take two reboots to reset the EFI again, so once Snow is installed and reboots, reboot again.

    I recommend starting with a soft reset (pressing both home and power button until you see the apple then let go of the buttons) once you back on the home screen if you iPad still doing the same thing you may want to try a back up and restore

  • Just got my other new ipad yesterday and am setting it up.  Wanting to use the same e-mail address but won't let me.  Any idea's.  We would like to be able to get into e-mails on both ipads. Thanks.

    Just got my other ipad2 yesterday and would like to use the same e-mail that I use on the other one, but it won't let me. Any idea how to set that up.  I thought you could have like 5 on one acct.  Thanks.

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • I wasn't able to access my email on my pad, so I tried to shut it off, thinking I needed a software update.  Now my ipad won't shut off.  Any ideas?

    My email was a white blank screen on my ipad.  Thinking I needed a software update, I tried to shut it off.  Now all I have is a black screen and the "working" logo in the center, but it won't shut off.
    Any ideas?

    When you reset the iPad, wait until the Apple logo appears on the screen before you let go of the buttons.
    Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Ipod 20GB Won't Turn Off.  Any ideas?

    Thanks!!!!!!

    Are you trying to get it to turn off without running the battery down? Have you tried reseting it?
    If you're willing to wait, you could let it run down, recarge it, and see if the problem is gone.

  • Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

    Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

    You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
    Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
    IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.
